Chapter 480
The Great Ancient Wizard, the Decisive Battle (4)
Dealing with the Devil was like dealing with another world. The full-fledged Devil was definitely real, but it wasn’t something that humans could easily reach even if they tried with all their might.
“The Allies deal with the Demons for now! The surviving Demons can be batteries for the Devil at any time, so get rid of them!”
“Okay!”
“Our god has given us instructions!”
[Why didn’t you kneel before the Devil?]
[Fools are struggling…!]
“Where are you going?”
[Ahhhhhh…!]
Evan boldly approached the Devil, who tried to straighten himself up, pulling up the evil dark magic and slapping his leg. Evan was under 2 meters tall, and his opponent was about 400 meters tall.
The world turned white when Evan’s boots, which were reborn as his own weapons by the power of Annihilation, clashed with the Devil. A terrible roar and explosion. After a deadly collision that anyone who hadn’t strengthened his body would have lost his life from, the Devil eventually dropped to the floor under Evan’s momentum.
[Will you stand against me with my strength given to you!]
“You’ve just been taking from the beginning, and you’re pretending to be giving.”
At the loud voice of the Devil, Evan replied as if he was full of energy and stretched out his power of Annihilation and clamped down on the Devil. On the face of it, it would seem to just knock the opponent to the ground with a close-range attack, but in fact, it was a desperate magic war between Evan and the Devil. Evan was now in control, trying to prevent Devil from using other measures.
“Uaaaaahh!”
And while Evan tied him up, Leo attacked him! Even though he was a strong man who represented an entire generation and was now a much stronger version of himself, the traces left by his sword to the Devil were minimal.
“Haha!”
Leo left a tiny trace on the body of the Devil and burst into laughter himself.
“That’s why I’m going to swing the sword a million times!”
“All you have to do is exhaust the power of the Devil; you don’t have to dwell on the reality! Don’t think of cutting him down; think of it as crushing the magic of the Devil, Grandpa!”
“That’s the problem with you. You always ask others to do what only we can do.”
“As time goes by, he’ll get used to the body, and he’ll get stronger. Do as much damage as you can now!”
Not only Leo but Mirole and Fayna also launched attacks on the Devil. Mirole was stronger than Leo as she had her armor, and Fayna was also an apostle who received a god’s power, so the damage they inflicted on the Devil, an incarnation of dark magic, was better.
“Fayna, the Apostle, is fighting so hard, but where are all the gods?”
“Everyone ran away. There was no point in calling them from the beginning, anyway.”
She had no way to damage the Devil, so Maybell played the role of an operator as she looked at the battlefield’s situation instead of Evan. As he expected the gods to deal with the demons and reduce their energy, it was an F in terms of achievements on this battlefield alone…
“No, I should have called them at least once to spread the power of the gods in the world. It’s a good thing that they’ve lost influence.”
“That’s the intention…”
“Of course. No matter how bad they are, Middle Earth cannot develop without the power of the gods.”
Moreover, Fayna was the only one left on the battlefield. It was the perfect condition for the doctrine of the Great Mother Earth to spread around survivors. George and his party, who were exploring a relatively safe dungeon by now, had already been planted with the doctrine of the Great Mother Earth. So far, yes, it wasn’t wrong. Now all he had to do was correct the remaining errors.
[Can’t you hear me calling you?]
[Do you think that power can shake me off thoroughly!]
The terrible energy of the Devil was overflowing as if it were going to explode even now. Evan couldn’t bind the movement of the Devil with the power of Annihilation. Still, instead, he decided at the same time to keep him back by attacking the Devil.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Heaven’s Press. Heaven’s Throw. Heaven’s Blade. Destruction via all the skills he gained in dealing with heaven…no, it unfolded based on his armor. Terrible pressure crushed the Devil’s body from top to bottom, and dozens of doom-stricken meteorites poured over it, all as a vast blade rose and cut through the Devil’s body.
[Hmph…!]
It wasn’t just that. It locked him up with a considerable vortex created by controlling the pressure of the Annihilation and even poured lightning into the Devil by creating a vast number of thunderstorms in the sky. The atmosphere vibrated, and the ground cracked wildly under Evan’s momentum, who came over to the shrine and fought with all his might for the first time. Neither the surviving Demon Tribes nor the tribal coalition fighting against such men could help but be appalled to witness it.
“Amazing… wizard… magic…!”
“He’s controlling Mother Nature!”
“Oh, god.”
No, this wasn’t magic. It was true that he was controlling Mother Nature as he wished, but…looking at the situation right now, Evan seemed to be unilaterally pushing the spell. But the Devil was gradually adapting to his own body, as Evan first feared, and was quickly finding strength.
[That’s a great ability, but it’s no match for me…!]
Despite the party’s constant attacks, the Devil, who stood up and stood tall on the ground, reached out to the sky at one point and held on to the lightning strike that was hitting him. And destroyed it.
[You can’t destroy me, the master of all powers!]
“…”
Evan thought it had almost collapsed. He clenched his fists silently as he watched the Devil destroy the lightning. This was because he thought he knew roughly what power the Devil just used.
[The power of your sister has sprouted in me. She gave her powers back to the owner, so she seems very polite. On the other hand, you guys…!]
The Devil, who began to deal with Elizabeth and the other sacrifices, took a step forward, enduring Evan’s fierce look. A dull vibration, which was only slightly less than Evan’s, rang the earth, and the magic emitted by the body spread to the ground, shaking the magic of everyone who wasn’t evil.
“Gosh, Zero…!”
“Mirole, hang in there.”
“I…I am…!”
Mirole was firing arrows intensively at the Devil and was distressed as she grabbed her armor. As she was directly expressing her soul, her attack power was also intense, while the shock of being exposed to the magic of her body was greater.
[Did you think you could even use this kind of power to make me sneeze?]
“Hmph!”
Just now, the step of the Devil had forced everyone on the battlefield into a stunted state. The next thing that followed was a terrible attack. Evan was constraining his magic, so he couldn’t afford to create magic, but instead, he chose a more precise and more powerful means. With the power of Destruction he gained in one hand, he removed the humans who were wandering around him. Aria screamed as she watched her husband bounce into the air.
“Leo!?”
“I’m not dead! Damn it; it’s fast for its size…!”
“It’s an attack that’s wider than the actual range of strikes! Read the trajectory of the force and avoid it!”
“Well, stop asking me for too much! Cough!”
Evan quickly analyzed the power of Destruction. If limited to close combat, it may be a more dangerous force than Annihilation. How on earth did Elizabeth get her hands on such power? But what was even scarier was that it had been acquired and reinforced by the Devil.
“Those who are hurt, back off!”
“But the Devil!”
[Bugs…the bugs’ cries are loud!]
Evan swung the thunderous power of Annihilation everywhere, rushing to the Devil, who was about chase after him, concentrating all his power in his fist. Now wrapped around his fist was a glove engraved with Gerah’s rune. It temporarily turned into a unique armor, giving Evan the strength of steel that never faltered and the incredible power to collapse even the mountains. Either way, of course, it was with Evan from the beginning, but the ability of the rune was great in that it increased his ability in proportion to Evan’s present ability.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
His temporarily huge fist hit the Devil. The Devil was pushed back, causing the earth to vibrate with their anger.
[Ha, this is the power of the evicted gods…!]
“Yes, the gods gave me this power and left!”
Not at all, actually, but he wanted to discourage the Devil’s spirits! The Devil tried to push Evan down with the power of Destruction, but Evan spread the power of his unique armor to prevent it. Watching Evan’s face-to-face power confrontation with Devil, even others were able to push away their fear of the Devil.
“Zero…”
“God!”
Such a thing played a significant role in releasing the pressure of the Devil from ordinary people. The status that Evan showed never to be pushed back by the Devil. The ultimate wizard, who seemed to have his way with Mother Nature. His overwhelming ability washed away the fear that the Devil alone inflicted on all things.
[You’re making a move!]
“Shut up!”
The Devil couldn’t afford to attack anyone else. Having no consideration for the next moment, the Devil also had no choice but to ignore the other bugs that attacked him to confront Evan, who was pouring his strength. And the bugs’ blows were consistently damaging, eating away at the magic of the Devil. Leo tried his best to surprise his student somehow, and Mirole realized that there wasn’t much time left to maintain her unique armor, so she concentrated all her strength in one place.
[Huh?]
When the Devil realized that the bug’s damage was bigger than he thought, he shed a painful voice and reached out to kill them.
“Haaaaat!”
Evan, at exquisite timing, hammered his power against him. Evan’s unique armor was the power that strengthened all things. Pure Annihilation was sublimated to a higher power, penetrating the Devil’s body, beating silver waves in the Milky Way in the night sky. A handful of the magic of the Devil was torn off and destroyed.
[Oppa…?]
At that moment, Elizabeth’s voice rang in Evan’s ear. Evan’s movement stopped reflexively, and the next minute he smacked harder at the Devil.
“You son of a b—!”
[Oppa, Oppa!]
[Your sister is looking for you. She’s looking for you desperately!]
In addition to Elizabeth’s voice echoing steadily as if it were played on a tape recorder, the voice of the Devil mocking him poured down on his head like a sticky poison. But Evan now knew Elizabeth’s consciousness was inseparable from the Devil. If that were possible, it would be possible for Evan to take Elizabeth out of the Devil now. So, the Devil was now degrading Evan. If he slowed him down a bit, or if he gave Evan some mental damage, he would already feel satisfied.
[Can’t you hear your little sister’s voice? Your sister that gave me the power of Destruction…?]
“I understand that you’ve entered the final phase…!”
Not a chance. Evan’s anger was rational, intense, and violent at the same time. If it was really to save Elizabeth, he couldn’t stop his hands now.
“Go-god Oppa. Shouldn’t we seal it now?”
“God, I’m done interpreting the trick you showed me. Anytime you give me the signal…!”
“Not yet.”
Meanwhile, the two witches tightly guarding behind Evan’s back looked very nervous. He was, too. Now that others were fighting for their lives, only the two of them were standing still. Evan, however, had yet to give a sign while preparing the two to use a sealing spell at the drop of a hat.
“Zero, I think we’re about to be disarmed…!”
“I’m at my limit!”
[Zero…!]
Those who were attacking the Devil with Evan also came to a limit. Evan ordered them to give a final attack and step down. As the momentum of the fierce attack subsided, the Devil suddenly stretched his hands up into the sky and summoned Dark Magic. It was the power of Elizabeth’s Destruction, as well as the power of Magic, which was dealt with by the Great Ancient Wizard who called himself Nave, as well as the incredible power of the Devil, who oversaw the Dark Magic.
[The grace of the Devil shall be given to this earth.]
The Devil didn’t look damaged at all compared to the beginning. Both hands of the black, ominous, enormous energy sphere were struck to the ground. Evan reached out his hand at that moment.
Over his hand appeared a strengthened magic circle.
“Now!”
